Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1743

......

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the month. The sun was shining brightly, but nearing noon, the atmosphere seemed to turn heavy.

There were lights and colored banners everywhere in Viridian Cavern Resort. Roses surrounded the place and melodious music echoed through the halls. The dream-like palace was also filled with a strong sense of sweetness and romance. It looked like every girl's dream.

That day, Waverly avoided wearing white. She chose a sweet and romantic shoulder-length skirt that was body-hugging. It was classy and elegant.

Since the Castle family had many relatives and friends who were relatively familiar with Casterwich City, she followed her brother to accompany her parents to welcome the bride's side relatives and friends. She also communicated with the groom's side and dealt with any arising issues.

Seeing that most guests had pretty much taken their seats, she was relieved. She thought it would just be a breeze, but she didn't expect that she didn't even have time to sip on some water!

She inadvertently turned around and found that her father was the only one left. When she took a step, she went over and asked, "Dad, where is Natasha?"

Why have I hardly seen her on such an auspicious day?

Although she knew that she was not one for social events, after all, that day was her biological daughter's wedding. Shouldn't she be the happiest? Suddenly, an indescribable strange feeling rose from the bottom of Waverly's heart.

"Why does it feel like she has left several times in such a short time?"

After turning around, Abel thought of something and said, "Oh, maybe she went to the bathroom!"

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he patted Waverly's hand, and a trace of tears inadvertently flashed across his father's face.

"Ah, you don't understand. Although I'm happy, it's different marrying off a son and a daughter. I raised my precious girl for so long, but now she will be going off to someone else's house..."

Seeing her father sobbing, Waverly's heart ached.

"Dad, come on now. Casterwich City is not far from Yecaeus City. Your daughter will always be yours. Now. you will have an extra son. Cecilia told me last night that she intends to come back often to eat. Jeremy said that he will join along too! I think he listens to Cecilia. You can rest assured!"

"I am glad."

He wanted to say something. His lips quivered. Ultimately, he just patted Waverly's hand. She knew that her father was worried about her. "Dad, I..."

At this moment, a sudden announcement came from the door, "Mr. Johnson and Master Trevor have arrived!"

In an instant, it was like a bolt of lightning striking down, and the blood all over Waverly's body seemed to freeze. Looking up, she saw Wyatt, Trevor, and Victoria appearing at the door.

Abel was shocked as well. They had all seen the guest list.

Although they had some friends in Casterwich City, these people were not closely related to them. Not to mention the fact that Jeremy has some friction with the Clements family. Why would he show up at the wedding?

"Waverly, long time no see!"

In a trance, the three people had already come over. Victoria was the first to speak. She went forward and even hugged her excitedly.

Despite her fractured relationship with Wyatt, Waverly still cherished her friends very much. 'Victoria!"

At this point, Wyatt raised his hand and handed over an envelope. "Abel, I happened to pass by and heard the good news. Sorry if I'm intruding, but congratulations!"

Naturally, all the passers-by knew Wyatt's intentions, not to mention that his eyes had never left Waverly. After all, it was a happy event, and there were many uninvited guests. So no matter how much he disliked the host, he would not initiate a confrontation right now.

"Congratulations!"

After a brief introduction, Trevor also handed him an envelope. The envelope had the hotel logo on it. From an outsider's point of view, it did seem like they were just passing by. In reality, Trevor was pressured to come last minute in order to accompany Wyatt.

"Welcome, welcome!"

After shaking hands with Trevor, Abel smiled and greeted them. Harry gave him a look and the butler accepted the envelopes and arranged seats for the new guests.

Soon, the three were led to the other side. Wyatt didn't say a single word to Waverly.

Since he appeared, Waverly's whole mind was in a mess. She did not notice that Harry had been holding her hand behind her.

After the three people walked away, he whispered, "Go rest in the back!" It seemed that Wyatt hadn't completely gotten over her either!

"Okay."

In a trance, Waverly practically ran away.

On the dining table, after noticing her movements, Wyatt was about to get up when Trevor grabbed his wrist. "If you don't want to totally ruin things, you'd better not do it today!"

Didn't he know what day it was?

"Cecilia, what are you thinking? Even if he almost became your brother-in-law, he didn't succeed, did he? What's more, Jeremy likes you, and he chose you! When you went after him, you made the choice only after I clarified my boundaries with him. You are not wrong, and you haven't done anything to hurt me. Father and I will not blame you. If you were doing this on purpose, it would be different. This is not your fault. Just chase after your happiness! I don't blame you at all. Anyway, I like someone else."

Lowering her head, Waverly also hugged her tightly.

"Enough. Stop overthinking! Come, let me help you put your corset on."

......

Soon, it was time. With the music playing alone with warm applause, Cecilia walked in wearing her wedding dress and veil. She had her arm linked through Natasha's as they walked down the aisle.

The moment she looked back, Waverly was obviously stunned. She unconsciously pulled at Harry's clothes and asked, "Harry, where is Dad?"

Shouldn't she be accompanied by their father?

She recalled that when they were planning the wedding, Cecilia had specifically emphasized this point.

The reason why it was always the father who walked the bride down the aisle was that he was seen as the protector of his daughter before marriage. He was also the most important man in her life before marriage. As her father, he looked after her since she was born. Now, he was meant to hand her over to the groom and pass along this mission. The act of handing her over to the groom also indicated the family's blessings to the couple.

Why had it become Natasha who walked Cecilia down the aisle? Furthermore, the wedding dress looked different. Why was she wearing such an ugly veil?

"Perhaps he got delayed by something?"

The two lowered their heads and whispered to each other. The bride was already on stage. Jeremy also had the same doubts. He could feel that something was wrong.

Before he could speak, Mrs. Castle explained in a low voice, "This is our hometown's custom! You can't uncover the veil before the ceremony is completed, or it will be bad luck!"

Giving the emcee a look, the emcee quickly nodded in response and naturally omitted the part where the groom lifted the veil and kissed the bride.

The whole wedding was still lively and joyous. With Mrs. Castle's company, Jeremy couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. A familiar feeling flooded his mind. In his mind, he felt like a mistake must have been made for them to do this. Regardless, Jeremy did not dare to voice out. The couple exchanged rings and completed the ceremony.

Soon, the banquet officially began. The food had already gone cold, but the newly wed couple had yet to come out to propose a toast. She looked up and found that her brother had also disappeared. Then she got up and walked backstage.

"What's going on? Where's Cecilia? Where did you take her?"
